Thanks for the feedback guys, I have never heard of an IP address in decimal notation before, I guess you do learn something new every day. Hmmmm... London thats interesting, you sort of assume these sites are all based in nigera (nothing against nigerians, it just seems to be where all the paypal/ebay/bank scams come from). I suppose I could ring the police and let them know, but then again, I have rang them before when someone had thousands taken from their account and they wasn't interested until the bank contacted them. I am also aware that just because the server is based in london (if thas correct) it doesn't necesarily mean the scammers are there. Once again thanks for the info!
